Sonic 1 Hits the Top 10 on Android and iOS

Less than a week ago, Sonic 1 received a Taxman/Stealth makeover for mobile platforms. The updated port has already cracked the Top 10 Paid Apps list in the US for both Google Play and the iOS App Store at #2 and #8, respectively. As we covered earlier, there are a ton of bonus features that more than warrant its $2.99 price tag. We encourage you to purchase the app, which you can find in the links below. After the jump you will also find some screenshots showcasing some of the bonus features (slight spoilers).

Sonic Dash is doing almost as good as Youtube at the #21 spot (of free apps)and Youtube Official app at #20. (Not to mention Sonic Dash scores 4.5 stars while Youtube has 2.5)and considering that Sonic Dash is a newer app…

They’re making a 3DS version of Sonic 1 with 3D and such, maybe it will be based off the Taxman version. It’s possible, but I feel like they’re just going to package the old Sonic ROM in a Virtual Console style and hack in some 3D, like the rest of the 3D Classics games probably are. Either way I’d buy it whenever I get a 3DS.

A couple of things:
First and foremost, it is still mind-blowingly awesome to me that now TWO of the Retro Community are contracting with SEGA, and that their love of and dedication to these classics is paying off!
Second, between this and Sonic CD, I REALLY hope this means that similar remasters of Sonic 2 and 3K (a la Sonic 3 Complete) become a reality.

Please Taxman and Stealth add all lost levels and all lost levels in Time Attack Mode from Sonic 2 Beta in your Sonic 2 Version including of course all levels and all levels in Time Attack from Sonic 2 Alpha Version . Please also add option to play Sonic and Tails , Sonic Alone , Tails Alone , Sonic & Tails & Knuckles , Knuckles Alone , Amy Rose Alone .
